RE: 10 Best Novels About the Civil War
Two "old" novels (early 20th Century, rather) are The Battleground by Ellen Glasgow and Clifford Dowdey's Bugles Blow No More about life in Antebellum and war-torn Richmond, VA.

Both are rather obscure and the stories are based in Virginia. They are fairly good; I think that Dowdey's book is one of the better. I read these years ago when I was a girl and loved Battleground because the heroine was a redhead named "Betty!"
